Drain Cleaning in Fremont, CA

When your standing ankle-deep in water during a shower, your toilets constantly overflowing, a sink stoppage has rendered your kitchen usable, and your dishwasher is coming to have all the makings of a miniature pool – it might be time for a drain cleaning.

As you can tell, clogged drains can be the source of many of your most common household problems, and are usually caused by a blockage of some sort. Blockages range from residue and sludge build-ups, to large objects and even tree roots.

When things like cooking oil, hair, food, or other items build up inside your drain lines, they eventually turn into stoppages that either completely backup or slow down your home’s draining process. At this point, most homeowners turn to over-the-counter drain cleaners advertised in their local retail stores for a solution, not knowing that they might inadvertently be making heir problem even worse.

That’s because over-the-counter drain cleaners are actually bad for your families health and for the health of your home’s pipework. Not only do drain cleaners NOT dissolve everything in your drains, but they are also corrosive to older cast iron and copper pipings, and can actually weaken these types of pipes over time. For those looking for a greener solution, keep searching because they’re also really bad for the environment.

Common Causes of Drain Clogs

There are many different ways to clog a drain:

Hair

Soap

Toilet paper

Other sanitary products

Dirt

Food waste

Toys

Small objects

Calcium and mineral deposits

Tree roots

Determining the exact cause of your drain clog is important because it determines our approach. For example, standard drain cleaning equipment often isn’t strong enough to remove tree roots, and it requires extra steps to prevent regrowth. Knowing the real causes behind your clogged drains can help keep your plumbing system healthy, save money and frustration, and catch other plumbing issues before they become big problems.

Plumbing Snake Vs. Hydro-Jetting

Plumbing Snake

Snaking a drain to clear a clog is the traditional method of clearing a clogged drain, and has been used by plumbers for decades. By using an auger – a long, steel cable capped with a coil, minor clogs are easily displaced. Since its a relatively undisruptive process, its best used on older piping and first time clogs.

Hydro-Jetting?

Hydro-Jetting is the industry standard in drain cleaning, and it works by blasting out the clog with a jet of pressurized water from a specialized hose fed into the drain cleanout. This blast effectively flushes out even the worst of clogs – and years of residue build up along the way.
